Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 428
Episode 428:
A dangerous intuition resonates.
I felt a question in Aria’s face as she gazed at me resoundingly.
question.
therefore.
“Um… something is ringing in my head, is it okay?”
Normally, she shouldn’t have said this.
“Nothing… comes to mind?”
When I asked slowly, hiding a bitter expression, she frowned and tried to ponder something.
Tuk… Tuduk…
But all that came back were incomprehensible tears.
“Ah… I’m sorry. Suddenly, tears again.”
As she spoke while wiping the transparent tears with the back of her hand, I hesitated to place my hand on her head.
Eunyul’s pine cones have the power of immunity.
According to the observer, her memories are sealed, not erased, so the moment she becomes immune, her memories that were confined must come back.
however.
There was no change.
Did the observer lie?
[No… I’m not lying.]
‘Then the memories were just deleted?’
[Not even that. It should be as it is. But.]
The silent observer groaned briefly before answering quietly.
[Some kind of power has locked her mind. In this case…]
He paused for a moment before giving an answer like thunder from the sky.
[Even I don’t know now. But wait a little bit. I will find my way.]
“Does that make sense?”
When I shot at her with a stiff face, Yurina, who was looking at me nearby, gave me a puzzled expression.
“Hey… is your mind still?”
“At least he’s finer than a corpse.”
She gave me an annoyed look at my sarcasm.
Reflexively, she stretched out her fist at me, but before her fist reached me, a native soldier who appeared at some unknown moment took hold of her and restrained her from behind.
[Shall we kill the great ruler?]
I shook my head at the sight of him asking a terrifying question.
“Aww! Where did this appear again…”
As she collapsed in confusion, Tobyeong silently looked at her, pretended to hit her with one hand, and then disappeared.
[Keep in mind that there are no two rudenesses to a cheeky human great ruler.]
“What did that native soldier say?”
“hmm?”
“It’s a language I can’t understand at all…”
At that, the observer’s explanation came back.
[You are being translated thanks to me, but they have no choice but to know the ancient language.]
That’s right. In the end, what the soldiers said was that no one knew.
‘The language system. Please give me some.’
[you. You’re starting to realize how far I can go.]
‘That’s enough.’
You should use it when you go back.
“Who manages this hideout?”
“Originally, the resistance forces were being turned by the 5-way reactor. But after the previous mass devastation, now two are dead and one is missing. Now, only two elders remain, and they evacuated here. Everyone does. Everyone is waiting for the day when they will die.”
At those bitter words, I calmly asked a question.
“Why are you fighting while waiting for the day you die?”
“yes?”
“What does it mean to lift a weapon? If you jump right out and stick your neck out to the demons, they will blow you away.”
“You… are you trying to fight me now?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
“Kyaaak! I was wrong. Please let this go!”
The regent native soldier who jumped out in an instant subdued her with a strange posture.
A clear cobra twist.
[be impertinent! This year!]
“Kyaaaaaagh!
I stopped him at Yurina’s screaming at the regent’s cry.
It was amazing to see that whenever there was an object that rebelled against me, it immediately jumped out and punished me like that.
“Okay, get out of here.”
[But Lord.]
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
At my words, she glared at me with a teary face.
“To be humiliated like this by a golem made of earth…”
“If you wanted to die, you could have just rebelled.”
“…I will die. will die someday But even if I die like that, I will die fighting the demons, and I have no intention of dying like this in vain.”
At her words, I nodded quietly.
It seems that the line of hope is not completely cut off.
“Guide me to the old man.”
“What are you going to do? Who you are… write! Oh okay! Back off at once!”
Embarrassed, she took a step back, wary of the reappearance of the regent Tobyeong.
Then, after looking at me for a long time, he nodded slowly and led me to a small underground cabin.
There, two elderly people were quietly playing the board game [Old].
“Team 3 Yurina has returned.”
“Hmm… You’re back. But the fact that you, Yurina, not Belchis, are reporting…”
“Yes. The former leader, Belchis, embraced the enemies he was satisfied with and died bravely.”
“It’s something to be blessed with.”
It was a pretty twisted conversation.
I, who had been silently watching the scene, took a step forward after Yurina explained everything that had happened there.
“Hmm, that is hard to believe. To be honest, it’s so hard to believe…”
The eyes of the two old people looking at me are suspicious and wary.
“It’s honestly hard to believe that a being like you has just arrived. From my point of view, wouldn’t it be more realistic to see that the demons created and sent assassins to exterminate us?”
“If so, what would you do?”
“What’s wrong…”
He smiled bitterly and took out a dagger from his chest and placed it on the wooden table.
“Revenge and die. The world has already belonged to the demons and there is no hope left for us. If I die this way or that way, if it’s the same, I’d rather just swing my sword and die.”
Why don’t you think about winning on such a subject?
“You mean you have the will to fight?”
At my question, he narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
“What is the purpose of asking that?”
“At least I have no intention of doing anything big by uniting with the corpse.”
I continued to speak with quite aggression, as I was getting annoyed with Aria’s work not going well.
“I’m in a pretty low mood right now because things have gone wrong. I’ll tell you straight forward. I will lend you the strength to drive out the demons and maintain your livelihood. will you follow or not.”
are you all going to die
He looks at me silently at my words.
“Are they all going to die… What are you going to do? If you listen to Yurina’s words, did she say that she is a person who handles indigenous soldiers? I’m not underestimating his talent, but the Creed you killed is embarrassing to be called a top-ranked demon even among demons.”
“I know.”
“You know? Could a human being so well informed make such a reckless statement? If there was snow, I would have seen it on the way. There were children and powerless women. But why do you think we have this attitude?”
“Because there is absolutely no chance of winning. The number of humans has decreased to an extreme, but the demons are still alive.”
At my words he was silent.
“If you know, go away. If you are a human, at least you can stay here.”
“I’ll let you win.”
“What…”
He paused at my words and met my gaze. Those eyes were suspicious.
“you.”
“I don’t like to talk too much. Think carefully when giving a choice. As the old man said, living like a corpse in this yard with children and women, I wonder if I will die.”
“you.”
“If that’s not the case, I’d rather die than try to help me out one more time.”
He was about to shoot something, but he fell silent again.
Because I cut him off again.
“At the very least, if you are living under the guise of revenge, I’m thinking that even if you know your enemies and know me, prepare and lead them, you should throw them into the pit of hell as much as possible.”
He didn’t say anything for a while.
Yurina just silently watched me.
“There is a possibility? Are you saying you can drive your enemies out now? Have you ever seen the reality of this continent? If you’re still saying that after seeing that, then you’re just kidding me!”
“This is the amazing thing. Use your life to kill as many enemies as possible. then.”
“hey! What kind of habit are you talking to the elder!!”
Unable to bear it, Yurina huffed angrily and approached me.
However, as soon as he got to a certain distance, he backed away in surprise as if something had come to mind.
She remembered that the Crowned Regent would appear whenever her behavior was impure.
He glared at me for a while, then slowly closed his eyes and then spoke quietly.
“Are you saying that you can overturn this bleak situation?”
“The people I deal with are rather competent.”
A lot of that too.
Nyx is also dead, and Perserk, one of the remaining powers, is said to be overpowered by Slygia’s power. The remaining demons are Astaroth, the current demon grand duke, and Gluttony, the leader of the radical vampires.
Slizzia, who took control of the demons, fell into a game of war and enjoyed using the demons to pressure me.
According to the observer, unlike the abysses she had seen so far, it seemed that she did not have the power to forcibly encroach on or strengthen anything else.
In order to bring her out, who accidentally hides among the demons and lives on, it was necessary to excite her on the game board she had spread out.
strategy tactics.
It’s like a board game in a sense.
It is just a battle of the number of strategies and tactics that even the continent’s emperor or the great sage couldn’t use their hands and raised the white flag.
The beginning of the first word will begin with the king’s daily steps.
Everything moves as the leader moves.
Of course, I had no intention of prolonging this nonsensical war game, nor of taking part myself.
What is fighting is the spirits of the kingdom’s people who have suffered for a long time in the kingdom of Prugreph and the newly introduced human allied forces.
At the end of the snowball fight, it was the old man who raised the white flag.
“Tell me what you want.”
“A large number of human prisoners are being held in the advance fortress of the demons not far from here. A demon called Muju Guz collected them. The number is about thousands. Supplies may be scarce, but first gather the survivors there.”
“It’s a fight against the demon advance base… is this what you’re going to do?”
At that question, I smiled.
“Who fought?”
He’s a guy who listens on his own, but you can just take over.
Only one person decides and starts indirect intervention.
It was just an instant that the war situation, which had been overwhelmingly unfavorable due to my participation in the war, was twisted.
* * *
The last remaining resistance.
No, Melburk Arcturus, who led this group with only the power and goal left to the extent that it would be embarrassing to even call it a resistance army, could not help but be stunned by the changes that took place in just two days.
At first, it was so out of the blue that I couldn’t accept it easily.
Humanity was defeated by the Demons, and there were no resistance forces left. The only thing left now is to wait for the unknown future and make as many demons as possible along the way.
That was all.
But one person changed everything.
A lot has changed in one week.
On the faces of the hideout refugees who smiled but had darkness in their hearts, confidence that they might be able to really drive out the demons and protect their home began to sprout very, very little.
bang!!
“Two legions of demons are entering! This time, one sword master class and 150 experts class! And a bunch of encroaching giant monsters have been spotted!”
“Get out of the way. 1, 2, 3 Leave the supplies of the forts as they are, and only the troops are bitten. What are you doing. Move quickly.”
“yes?! Uh, how are these captured goods…
”
It was frankly frightening for the young boy named Davey to sit back and watch the situation in this hideout, the last resting place of the resistance fighters.
In less than a week, everything changed.
Even without going to the battlefield or seeing the battlefield in person, he showed the topography and extraordinary amount to take advantage of the maximum, and began to rob all the demon troops that were additionally put into this place.
In addition, somehow, he roasted and boiled a demon properly, sent him back to his hometown to use him as a spy, and saved thousands of other races, including humans, dwarves, orcs, and beasts.
“This is the start. Warming up lightly, don’t get excited already.”
Looking down at the model of the entire terrain with a cold voice, he looked like a person playing a simple board game.
